CLINTON COUGHS

OVER THE HILL?

The ‘Venous thromboembolism’, which was located behind her right knee, resulted in her foot ballooning in size.

Hillary takes daily blood thinning medication for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after suffering two other clots in 2009 and 2012. The latter of which ‘transverse sinus venous thrombosis’ was discovered in her brain.

The former Sectary of State fainted at her home in 2012 while suffering from a stomach bug which resulted in a concussion.

While her doctor revealed that her concussion “resolved within two months" Clinton did suffer from double vision following her fall.

In 2014 husband Bill described it as a “terrible concussion” which “required six months of very serious work to get over.

In 2009, Clinton fractured her elbow after falling while it was revealed in a doctor’s letter in 2015 that she suffers from an under-active thyroid gland.

The presidential hopeful was diagnosed on Friday, but the public was not made aware until she collapsed at a 9/11 memorial yesterday

Clinton was headed to an emergency room following her frightening collapse at the Sept. 11 memorial ceremony — but detoured to daughter Chelsea's apartment to keep details of her medical treatment under wraps, according to the NY Post.

Secret Service protocol called for the Democratic presidential nominee to be rushed to a state-designated Level I Trauma Center in the wake of her Sunday-morning health crisis, sources said.

But a campaign operative decided to change course to avoid having Clinton seen by doctors, nurses and other medical workers who could leak details to reporters, according to a source.

In addition, Clinton’s van was supposed to be escorted by an NYPD detail, but the Secret Service whisked her away from Ground Zero before cops could accompany her, another source said.

The former secretary of state had told police officials that she didn’t want the escort at all, but the NYPD overruled that request, the source added.

NYPD Deputy Commissioner John Miller said Clinton’s “early departure was transmitted in real time by the Secret Service to the NYPD.”

“There was no lack of communication, nor diminution of security,” he added.

The campaign initially claimed that Clinton left the 15th annual observance at Ground Zero because she “felt overheated” — before revealing hours later that she was actually suffering from a bout of pneumonia diagnosed Friday.

In a statement released by the campaign, Clinton’s personal physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, said she examined the candidate at her home in Chappaqua, and pronounced her “recovering nicely” after becoming “overheated and dehydrated.”

Campaign spokesman Glen Caplin said the Clinton team “disputed the account” and released a statement saying: "As soon as she got into the vehicle, she was feeling fine.

Her preference was to go to Chelsea’s. Based on an assessment of her condition and after having conferred with her physician, the staff and the Secret Service thought it was appropriate.”

Appearing on CNN Monday evening, Clinton said she did not disclose her diagnosis last Friday because she “didn’t think it was going to be the big of a deal.”

Clinton went on to explain that the illness started out as a nagging cough which she supposed had been due to seasonal allergies. When the cough did not subside she decided to see a doctor.

Both Clinton and Republican rival Trump promised on Monday to release more medical information in the wake of her caught-on-camera collapse.

Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said Bardack was preparing “additional medical records” to be made public “in the next couple days.”

The presidential candidate said that she was looking forward to the day in New York

Trump told Fox News that “something’s going on” with Clinton, adding: “I just hope she gets well and gets back on the trail.”

The real-estate mogul — who is set to appear on TV’s “The Dr. Oz Show” on Thursday — also said he would release the results of his own recent medical exam.

“I saw what was going on with her and I said, ‘You know, I’m going to go do something,’ and I actually took a physical last week, and probably, I guess this week, will release the results of it,” Trump told CNBC.

Clinton’s spokesman said that in addition to her illness, “several of the senior staff have been afflicted with something or other for the last few days.”

“I was sick for a couple of days. I had the mild form of it,” Fallon said.

The stricken staffers included campaign manager Robby Mook, and two top aides who needed emergency medical treatment — one of whom was taken by ambulance to a hospital emergency room after collapsing from severe dehydration, People magazine reported.

Fallon told CNN that Clinton’s pneumonia, which she is treating with antibiotics, was “not contagious.”
